GAZ10 Broken Lands, 8 miles per hex
GAZ10’s map is a peculiar beast. Like GAZ6’s Rockhome (but even more so), the Broken Lands map gives you a strong sense that this is only the tip of the iceberg. In this case, there’s really not a lot to speak of in the above-ground map. All we can really see is which tribe of humanoids resides where, and that’s basically about it. The forested swamp hex is unique to this map. It’s interesting because in fact swamps and marshes can be distinguished by the presence or lack of trees. The Atlas‘s updated maps split swamp and marsh into separate icons, just as they are here.
